Best Tire Shop online
I need to buy some new front tires for a set of 17" rims that a forum member was very generous to give me. I have searched online but wanted to see what others experience was as far as pricing and service. Thanks for your help.

I have used Tirebuyer a couple of times and I have used Summit. For the Coker red lines for my 65, Summit had them at the same price as did Coker, but Summit shipped them free. In all cases, I arrange my own mounting and balancing. For both Summit and Tirebuyer, tires were at my house within two days.

Summit, Tire Buyer and Tire Rack. I used Summit because I was also buying some wheels so they mounted and balanced everything. I check everything off of what I see on Tire Rack and generally end up back there.

If you have a problem with Tire Rack, good luck.
I did, and was very disappointed. |

I ended up going with Walmart online. They were cheapest available as my wife is a manager for them and we get 10% off and free shipping to store. Saved over 80 bucks over using discount tire direct and about 85 over tire rack. They charge 12 bucks a tire for install but I get 10 % off that too so 43 bucks for all 4. Thanks for all your advice and help.

Any Walmart w/ service center will do ...
I travel in every of the lower 48 states & I get my truck & trailer tires at Walmart.
I run Dextero LT in an " E " load range on both ... My experience - you cannot beat Walmart for convenience - price - service. Jim
